Lon Lon Ranch Characters

The ranch cast is Malon, her father Talon, the stablehand Ingo, and Epona. Majora’s Mask does not bring Malon back; Romani and Cremia stand in the child and adult roles on a different ranch.

Family and related guides

For Talon’s sleeping spots and the cucco that wakes him, read Talon’s guide. The page about Malon’s mother separates her confirmed connection to Epona’s Song from the Gerudo theory. Malon’s identity is on the home page. The table below connects the rest of the cast to their quests and appearances.

Ingo, in one paragraph

Ingo is the Hylian stablehand. As a child he works under Talon and resents it. As an adult he renames the property and charges for rides until Link wins Epona and the family returns. Zelda Wiki’s trivia pairs him with Luigi the way it pairs Talon with Mario. His age and any family beyond that joke are blank here. The race fees and the shut gate belong to the quest index, not to a character biography.

Romani, Cremia, and the horse

Epona is the sorrel Malon raises. Only Malon and Link ride her in this game, and she carries six carrots as the boost item. Romani is the younger sister at Romani Ranch in Majora’s Mask, the child-side counterpart. Cremia is the older sister, the adult-side counterpart. Writing them as “Malon in a mask” would be wrong; the wiki treats them as corresponding roles, which is the wording this index keeps. The full yes/no appearance list, including games with no Malon at all, is on which games she appears in.

Questions people ask

Who lives at Lon Lon Ranch?

Malon and Talon live there. Ingo works the stable and takes the ranch in the adult era. Epona is the horse Malon raises.

Is Romani the same person as Malon?

No. Romani and her sister Cremia are the Majora’s Mask counterparts. Malon herself is not in that game.
